La guía completa de lubricantes

The Complete Guide to Lubricants

The world of lubricants can be a bit complex. Water-based, silicone-based, flavored, warming—the endless options can be confusing. One of the most important things to learn about lubricants isn't which one is best, but which one is best for each activity. It's great to have different types on hand for whatever the night brings.

But don't worry, I'm here to guide you.

Not only can I tell you which type of lubricant is best for each activity, but we can also recommend products that fit your needs.

Wait, wait… Why do I need a lubricant?

Vaginal lubricants aren't just for older women; they're for everyone. We all know what they say: the wetter, the better. And studies show that using lubricants during sex can increase sexual satisfaction—and who doesn't want that?

Ready to get wet and enjoy? Here's the complete guide to lubricants.

Sensitive and dry?

Women can experience dryness at any age. Breastfeeding, menopause, perimenopause, medications, and even stress are all possible causes. Therefore, some consider using lubricant not only for sex but also for everyday comfort.

This is a case in point with our most popular lubricant, Just Like Me . Why do we call it that? Because it's a pH-balanced, water-based formula that mimics natural vaginal moisture. It keeps you comfortable all day and enhances your pleasure at night. Our original formula is FDA-approved for your peace of mind, and because it's water-based, it's gentle and easy to clean.

Do you dare to play with water?

For even more fun in the bath or shower, you need the right lubricant to keep you wet and active. Our silicone-based lubricant, Pure Pleasure , has a long-lasting, smooth, and slippery texture that ensures it won't slide or absorb easily into your skin like most water-based lubricants, making it ideal for water play.

Another ideal lubricant for water play is our Hybrid Gel lubricant. This unique lubricant has a combined silicone and water formula that offers the best of both worlds. It's smooth like a water-based lubricant, but also long-lasting like a silicone-based one.

Trying to conceive?

Sometimes getting pregnant isn't all it's cracked up to be. Having lots of sex sounds great... until you start struggling. Especially when it seems like all your friends on Instagram are getting pregnant every two weeks. Suddenly, what should be fun turns into a stressful endeavor. That's where Conceptria can help.

Conceptria helps prepare the ground for conception. It's designed to adjust vaginal pH levels during ovulation to better adapt sperm and match its molecular balance. This ensures the lubricant works with sperm, not against them.

Conceptria is FDA-approved and guaranteed to mimic a fertile vaginal environment and aid in the conception process. It may not be a cure-all for fertility problems, but it's an excellent first step before you start exploring alternative (and more expensive) methods for conception.

Exploring the back door?

Studies show that more and more Americans are enjoying anal sex. This may surprise some, but as we overcome old taboos and become more open to new sexual experiences, it's only natural that the backdoor will gain new followers. But before you start exploring, you should know that a silicone-based lubricant is a must for anal sex. Unlike the vagina, the rectum doesn't self-moisturize, so you'll want to make sure you have enough lubrication before delving in. That's where Pure Pleasure can become your new go-to.

Traditional water-based lubricants can evaporate or absorb quickly into the skin, but silicone-based lubricants stay in place longer and provide the perfect amount of glide to ensure comfort, safety, and fun.

Do you want to sweeten oral sex?

Our creamy lubricant, Whipped , feels fantastic and glides on smoothly with its lotion-like texture. And don't even think about the flavors! Who hasn't dreamed of oral sex tasting like a cupcake? Or strawberry cheesecake? These incredible, delicious flavors, combined with Whipped's unique texture, will bring anyone to their knees.

And that's not all! Our Sensations lubricants come in a variety of flavors like Cotton Candy, Pineapple Paradise, and Blue Raspberry . But this light and delicious lubricant not only enhances oral sex...

Looking to add a special touch to your foreplay?

Ladies, we know how important you are. If you want to change up your pre-sex routine and add a touch of heat, try Sensations , our warming lubricant. This lubricant is applied cold, but its air-activated formula warms up when you add air or a little friction.

Do you use a toy?

When it comes to toys and lubricants, you won't regret any combination. However, we definitely recommend some combinations.

Do you use a penis toy, like a masturbation sleeve or cock ring? Choose Whipped . Its lotion-like texture provides the perfect comfort and glide.

Anal toy? Silicone is the best option. Pure Pleasure has your back.

You may have heard the rumor that silicone lubricant shouldn't be used with silicone toys. Well, with Pure Romance, you don't have to worry about that.

Those stories of melted and ruined toys are because someone somewhere marketed their product as something it wasn't: silicone. But all of our silicone toys are made with 100% food-grade silicone and work perfectly with silicone lubricants. We never hide our ingredients or materials. If in doubt, check the product's website. If it says "silicone," know that's exactly what you're buying.

That said, most of our toys also work wonderfully with any of our water-based lubricants. Flavored or unflavored, with these versatile, no-fuss lubricants, you're sure to find the right fit.

Slide without control

Now that you know the ins and outs of lubricants, you can make smart decisions about what to use and when. Remember, with lubricants, it's all about having options. Different lubricants work best for different toys or activities, so always make sure you have a good selection on hand for any sensual adventure you embark on.
